Kaneria said, I am proud to be Hindu and Pakistani

Cricketer Danish Kaneria, while speaking to Pakistani TV channel 'Saman' on Friday, said that some players used to make comments about him behind the back. I never made it an issue. I just ignored him because I wanted to focus on cricket and on winning Pakistan. Kaneria said, I am proud to be Hindu and Pakistani. Let me tell you that Kaneria has come into the discussion after Shoaib Akhtar's statement that he alleged that some Pakistani players refused to dine with Kaneria due to religion.

'Do not try to present the cricket community in a negative way'

Danish said that, I want to make it clear that in Pakistan do not try to present our cricket community in a negative way because there are many people who supported me and supported me irrespective of my religion. Asked about former batsman Yusuf Yohana who was a Christian but later converted to Islam, he said he does not want to comment on anyone's personal preference.

'I was never pressurized'

He said, this was his personal decision by Mohammad Yusuf, I never felt the need to convert because I have faith in it and never pressurized me. Kaneria said that Shoaib Bhai would have heard what he said or someone would have told him but I have represented Pakistan at the top level and I am proud of that.
